Update
Just FYI for anyone who might be interested in following the story, Arionrhod and I are posting "The Sultan and the Storyteller" on our joint site here, updating with one new chapter every day through November 30. We'll be posting reminders every so often throughout the month at lupin_snape. Currently, 7 chapters and roughly 30,000 words out of around 180,000 words total have been posted so far.
